Airports
Brisbane is the nearest international airport. We recommend landing at one of the domestic airports: Lismore is the nearest, but Ballina and Coolangatta (Gold Coast) are usually cheaper. From Brisbane, Ballina and Coolangatta airports, shuttle buses go to Byron Bay. From Brisbane airport, there is also a train to Robina on the Gold Coast, which can save two hours of driving if one of your friends is picking you up. From Lismore airport, we are not aware of any shuttles, but some car rental companies operate.
Car rentals
Some people report finding competitive car rental
rates on this site. Rates are
generally lower for Australian residents. We have a sannyasin
friend called Punit who has a knack for arranging cars at even better
rates. You can reach Punit at
